[lastnamewithheld]

1. Age this week? 10 weeks! I remember hitting double-digits during pregnancy felt like such a big milestone. I can't believe my little baby is double-digits already!

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? We had a good 5 minute giggle-fest the other day. Tommy was sticking his tongue out, so H and I started sticking ours out at him in reply. He GIGGLED at us, guys!! and we laaaaughed, and he giggled, and we laughed, and we kept sticking out tongues out at one another and laaaaughed. OMG. I sound insane right now, but it was the damn cutest thing I've ever seen. Then Tommy got hiccups, and that was less cute and funny.

3. Challenges? The other night, he decided to just be awake between 12-2a. Nothing was wrong, he just wouldn't fall back to sleep after his first chunk of sleep like he usually does. Grrr.

4. How are the adults doing? We're good--H had inventory at work yesterday, so he's been working extra hours since the weekend trying to prep for it, so we really haven't been able to spend any QT together. Hopefully his schedule will let up soon.

QOTW: We live in a colonial style home that was built in 1965. It's adorable and I love it. I do say that this is our forever home, just because moving is such a PITA, lol.

[Evelyn3]

1. Age: 3weeks on Sunday
2. Achievements/happy moments: he slept a 4.5 hour stretch last night!!
And we switched bottles and he's less gassy
3. Challenges: getting him to sleep on his own during the day. In the day he just wants to sleep on me. Not the worst, but I do need to eat and pee. Lol
4. Adults are doing good. H is back at work this week. Missing the extra hands, but overall it's not bad
5.

QOTW: our home was built in 2010 for us. I love it, and never want to move. I'm not sure what style it would be classified as...

@lastnamewitheld the giggling is so exciting!! Must have been so fun!

[Winnifred]

1. Age this week? 10 weeks

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? She's still doing so great and the smiles and squeals are awesome. I think she's laughing too but it's hard to tell, it's like she breathes in instead of out.... so she's working on it 😉

3. Challenges? We noticed her head was getting flat and she only wanted to look towards that side. We've been working with her and she's improved a ton in just a few days, really hoping her head starts to even out.

4. How are the adults doing? Doing ok. I was having a terrible time sleeping but I'm doing better now, thankfully. I'm also getting nervous about going back to work...

We have a tri level, I like to refer to it as the "deluxe" version because it's so much nicer and more spacious than any tri level I've ever seen before. I don't think it's our forever home though since we'd like to move out of the city.

lastnamewithheld could I please be added? And all the giggles must have been so awesome!
Evelyn3 there's nothing like that first stretch of good sleep!
Winnifred glad her head is getting better!

1. Age this week? Z is 6 weeks old today!

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? She's started actually staying awake for a little bit during the day, and we've had some really cute moments with her on her play mat. She's very intrigued by the lights and music.

3. Challenges? Massive breastfeeding challenges still. I won't rehash them here, anyone interested can read all about it in the BF check-in.

4. How are the adults doing? We're doing as well as can be expected. Last Friday I made my first solo venture out with Z in the car. I'm trying to do more things so I can feel more like an actual human being again.

5. Got a cute pic from this week to share? I'll be back from tapatalk to post.


QOTW: Happy March!! I'm running out of questions to ask (lol) What kind of dwelling do you and your family live in? Do you like it? Is it your "forever home"? We live in a pretty standard two story colonial house. The only thing is doesn't have is a basement. We love our neighborhood and would probably stay forever but the school district isn't the best. The plan is to move about 15 miles north to the better school district in about three years.

Winnifred and dancerspose , your girls are adorable!

[tiresiastheblond]

What beautiful babies--so much cute in one place!

lastnamewithheld , Can you please add me? I.ris was born February 1.

1. Age this week? 5 weeks today.

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? I is doing great! She seems to be a really calm baby, and she's growing/gaining fast. She's started to make some eye contact, which is cool.

3. Challenges? Getting ANYTHING done. She wants to nurse all. day. long. The house is unbelievably vile.

4. How are the adults doing? Pretty well. We're both so happy she's here. Less happy about the filth we're living in and the lack of sleep, but I guess that's the price you pay...

We live in a raised bungalow kind of thing in one of the outermost neighborhoods of our city.  It's our "for the forseeable future" home--we bought it because of the good schools and because it works well with DH's commute, but it's definitely a fixer-upper; we're currently remodeling our extremely, uh, vintage kitchen and bathroom.  We like it, but I think that after both DDs are out of school, we'd like to move back into the city proper.

I'm late to the party this week!

1. DD is 3 weeks old

2. She is past her birth weight and doing well with nursing! So far she's pretty chill which is great.

3. Girl is a spitter upper. Just like DS who had reflux. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case bc he constantly spit up for 8-9 months. We've already started her on some medicine which doesn't help the spit up but hopefully will help with the pain associated with it.

4. We are tired but hanging in there. I had my first week at home with 2 under 2 and everyone survived.

QOTW: we are in a 2 story house built in 2013 for us. I don't know about forever but I see us being here a really long time. We love the neighborhood and neighbors and the house has plenty of room for us.

[mrswillie]

Sorry I've been missing!

1. 13 weeks

2. He's giggled a couple times. Won't do it on camera for me, but it was so cute.

3. Naps! He only like cat naps unless he's being held. Stinker.

4. Mommy is exhausted and he have me his cold.

QOTW: Split level. I love the view, it it's a bit small and missing some features I'd like in my forever home.
